The Wild Hunt circled around the pack house like starlight vultures.

“Keep your eyes off them,” Lilith told Tamara, turning her face away from the riders. “They'll snatch your thoughts if you stare too long.”

Tamara felt Kai's wolf stir through their bond. His need to protect her was strong, it made her teeth hurt. He shifted her behind him, his body ready to change.

“They can't get in,” Elder Aldric said, sounding unsure. “The house has protection spells.”

A horn blared again. The windows vibrated.

Then, suddenly, the Wild Hunt stopped. The ghost riders turned their eyeless horses toward the forest, as if listening.

“What are they—” Marcus began.

Then gunfire ripped through the trees.

Not the magical crack of supernatural weapons, but real guns. Human guns.

“Hunters,” Kai growled.

Through the window, Tamara spotted them. People in black moving through the forest with military precision. They carried rifles, big ones, and they aimed for the pack house.

“They're using the Wild Hunt as

    Marcus hadn't left his room in three days.Kai stood outside his door, knocking gently. "Marcus? Talk to me, brother."Silence."Please. We're worried about you."Finally, a weak voice came through the door. "Go away, Kai.""Not happening. Open the door or I'm coming in."The lock clicked. Kai pushed the door open slowly.Marcus sat on his bed, knees pulled to his chest. He looked smaller somehow. Broken. Dark circles under his eyes said he hadn't slept since Alaska."I felt him in my head," Marcus whispered. "Theo. He wasn't even trying to hurt me. Just desperate. So desperate to reach Tamara that he used me like a phone."Kai sat beside him carefully. "It wasn't your fault.""What if he takes me again? What if next time I hurt someone?" Marcus's hands shook. "What if he makes me kill you? Or Tamara? Or anyone?""We won't let that happen.""You can't stop it! You didn't stop it before." Marcus rubbed his face hard. "I can still feel it, Kai. The echo of someone else in my mind. Like

    The drive to Alaska felt like racing against death. Every hour meant Smith got closer to the seal. Every minute meant more wolves joining his cause."He has thirty wolves now," Marcus said, reading Jess's latest update from the passenger seat. "Maybe more.""We have five," Lilith stated the obvious from the back."We have right on our side," Kai said, not taking his eyes off the icy road.Derek snorted from behind Tamara. "Right doesn't win fights. Strength does.""Then we'll have to be smarter," Tamara said. But the silver corruption creeping up her throat made talking hurt.They'd been driving for thirty hours straight, taking turns at the wheel. Through Canada, following remote highways where they wouldn't be noticed. The further north they went, the worse the weather got. Snow turned to blizzard. Roads became suggestions under white drifts."This place," Marcus shivered as they finally approached the abandoned military base. "Something horrible happened here."Old buildings rose f

  • Lunar Blessed    Chapter 32: Reaching Out.

    A week after Caleb's death, Tamara returned to Jess's apartment. The single wall of research had exploded into something bigger. Maps covered every surface. Three computers sat on a new desk. Red string connected hundreds of printed articles."You've been busy," Tamara said."You have no idea." Jess spun her laptop around. "Look at this."A website filled the screen. "The Hidden World" stretched across the top in bold letters. Below were dozens of posts with titles like "Wolf Sighting in Portland" and "They Walk Among Us.""You made a blog?""A forum. A community." Jess clicked through pages. "Started three days ago. Just posted some weird events I'd been tracking. Now I have thousands of followers. People who've seen things. Experienced things. They're all sharing their stories.""This is dangerous, Jess.""I know. Look at this." Jess pulled up another screen showing visitor data. "Government IP addresses. DSC is monitoring every post. They know I'm connected to you.""Then stop. It'

    The meeting hall felt too big with about half of wolves left. Empty spaces where pack members used to sit made the silence heavier. Nobody wanted to speak first."We need to talk about what happens next," Kai finally said from the front of the room."What happens is we're losing," someone called out from the back. "Smith has twenty wolves. Maybe more by now.""We still have a good number," Marcus countered."For how long?" That was Rebecca, one of the younger wolves. "My brother joined Smith yesterday. He says they're stronger. Says they're evolving while we're stuck in the past.""Your brother chose to abandon his family," Kai's voice went hard."Or maybe he chose survival," Rebecca shot back.The room erupted in arguments. Wolves shouting over each other. Some defending Kai. Others questioning his leadership. Tamara watched from the corner as their pack tore itself apart with words.Derek stood near the door, arms crossed. His eyes kept finding Tamara across the room. When she notic

    Three days passed since eight wolves walked away to join Smith's group. The pull from Nevada grew stronger every hour, like invisible hands tugging at Tamara's chest."Dawn. We go then," Kai announced to his chosen team. Marcus, Derek, Lilith, Jeremy, and Tamara. Six wolves total for what could be a suicide run. More would've been better, but trust was scarce these days."Sarah's got security covered while we are gone," Marcus offered.Tamara bit back her objection. Something about Sarah felt wrong lately. But she had no proof, just instinct.Ten hours of driving through hellish desert heat. Two cars moving through desert heat that grew worse with each mile. Kai drove one car with Tamara and Marcus. Derek drove the other with Lilith and Jeremy."That mirror's going to break if Derek keeps staring at it," Tamara observed."He's just keeping watch. Smart hunter behavior," Kai responded.But Tamara caught Derek's eyes in that mirror. He wasn't watching the car. He was watching her.Sunse

    The council room was quiet. Only six wolves sat around the table. Marcus, Lilith, Jeremy, Derek, Maya, and Kai. The inner circle. The ones Kai trusted most."Three wolves in our pack are infected," Tamara said. "Tom, Rachel, and Michael. I saw the silver in their eyes this morning.""You're certain?" Marcus asked."Yes. The same corruption Theo showed me in the shadow realm.""Theo is sick," Derek said. "Can we trust his visions?""I saw their eyes myself. The silver ring is there."Maya shifted uncomfortably. "If this is true, we need to act fast.""We confront them," Kai decided. "Full pack meeting. If they're innocent, they'll submit to examination.""And if they're not?" Lilith asked."Then we deal with it."An hour later, the main hall was full. Every adult wolf was there. The tension felt thick. Heavy.Kai stood at the front. "We've discovered something disturbing. Three of our wolves show signs of infection. Tom, Rachel, and Michael."The room exploded."What infection?" Tom st
